Hello everyone, I'm having issues with my new build in Cs go, it was just recently been put together and at 1080p with everything on high, I get around 140 fps which is weird since other builds has mine get around 200+fps.

Thanks in advance guys.
 


There's not a lot of fps difference. Even if I change the resolution to like 1280x960 4:3 and I put 2x MSAA and everything on low, I still get around 140-250 fps
 
I'm running GTX 970 and i5 4690k and I play on everything low and 4:3 resolution. I get 150-250 fps. CS:GO uses your processor more than your GPU, so thats why your GPU usage might be that low. Even if you're getting 140 fps, that is perfectly fine if you have a 144hz monitor.
 
Did you set your max frames to high on your Graphics Card? Also what are your other specs. But just to get this out of the way, your CPU should be fine, games are graphics intensive, not processor intensive.
 


Yes, in general. But when it comes to Source games, those use your CPU alot more than your typical game. CPU matters in Source games.

Yes of course CPU matters, GPU's also have their role.
 


The max frames is set to off on the gpu control panel
